Hunt for ancient treesJoin the Ancient Tree Hunt and help find all the fat old trees across the UK – just by hugging them! It’s lots of fun for all the family and you’ll be helping to protect ancient trees too.

Record seasonal signsRecord seasonal signs to help us monitor and measure changes in climate over time with Nature’s Calendar or Nature Detectives for younger people.

Take picturesWoods are great places to take pictures. And if you take great pictures of places, why not send them into us? We’re always looking for new images of our woods. You might even like to join our voluntary photographers’ scheme.

Go to an eventAs well as tree planting activities, we and our partners also hold other events, such as practical tasks, storytelling, guided walks and talks, or learning about traditional woodland techniques such as basket weaving or coppicing. Come along and learn something new!

Plant treesThe Trust holds tree planting days at some of our woods. You can plant our trees or even bring your own (if they’re native of course – please check first!) and help create the woods of the future.
